Standing atop the medal podium, the newly crowned shot put state champion of the Division 1 MHSAA girls track and field state finals gathered her competitors around, squatted down and put her best model face on.

Madoula-Bey took the photo with a Samsung, but unlike David Ortiz or Ellen Degeneres, she won’t make a mint off of hers. That’s fine by Madoula-Bey. She’s happy with just the medal.

And it wasn’t her only one of the day. Madoula-Bey took fifth in the discus as well.

“It feels really good, especially being a sophomore. I have a lot ahead of me and I’m happy for my future,” Madoula-Bey said.

Madoula-Bey’s winning put of the shot traveled 42-feet, 6.25 inches. She threw the discus 123-feet, 11 inches. Skyline coach Rolando Eccleston believes this is just the beginning for Madoula-Bey.

“Charde is such a gym rat, she deserves it. To be a sophomore and state champion, that’s saying something,” Eccleston said.

Madoula-Bey’s classmate Sarah Vogel took home All-State honors as well, placing eighth in the 300-meter hurdles. Their medals along with a fifth place finish in the long jump from Anita Vander Meulen helped Skyline to a 10th place finish, its best ever.

“I think it’s satisfying for (Vander Meulen) to have it end in such a positive way,” Eccleston said. “I just couldn’t be happier.”
